THREE BULD BURGLARS.
Johnny BrOckschmidt and Two
Other Crooks Sent to the Pen
From Randolph County.

G. \. Radcliffe, sheriff of Randolph
county, arrived in this city Friday
evening, enroute to Jefferson City,
with three prisoners, all recruits for
the penitentiary.
Johnny Brockschmidt, alias Allen
Kennedy, John Kelly and Shed
Akens comprise the trio. They all
pleaded guilty. Johnny received a
sentence of ten years, Kelly eight
years and Akens two years on Septem-
Der 9Th.
Brockschmidt and Kelly pleaded
guilty to burglary and grand larceny.
The history of their case is about as
follows, cleaned from the sheriff:
On the 2lst of August last, the
residence of Dr.. Davis, in Huntsvilles
was broken into, and a suit of cIothe,
taken. The sheriff was notified of the
theft, and started in hot pursuit. In
the meantime the burglars had started
in the direction of Moberly and when
two miles from Huntsville, stopped
at a farm house for a drink of water.
When the farmers dog came at them,
ssvagely, John shot the dog dead.
Of cource the old farmer, like all of
his neighbOrs, thought more of the
dog than any tramp, and in his de-
nuncistion of their act, they were in
clined to send him on the same road
as the dog had gone. They left and
were tracked to Cairo, Mo-, where it
was learned that they boarded q
freight train. Sheriff Radcliffe tele-
graphed ahead to Macon, and when
they arrived there the authorities
took them into custody. They were
taken to Huntsville and pleaded
guilty as stated.
Johnny, when arrested, gave his
name as Allen Kennedy, and under
that name was convicted and sentenc-
ed by the court.
On the 10Th of August Johnny and
Kelly, it is believed, robbed Attorney
Graham, of Carrolton, Mo-, af tiue
gold watch, which has not been re-
covered, they refusing to disclose its
whereabouts.
Shed Akens was from Randolph
county, and resided about twelve
miles from Huntsville. He was sent
up for breaking into smoke house,
and making away with lot of bacon
Sheriff Radcliffe left with his prisoners
on the 11:55 train Friday night for
Jefferson City.
Johnny Brockschmidt, in CONVEX
sation with q BAzoo reporter, Friday
evening at the cooler, said he had
been absent from Sedalia about FIVE
months. During his absence he had
been to Oregon, went there via. the
Northern Pacific railway. He said he
had been In Missouri about three
weeks when arrested at Macon. He
stated TINT he was twenty-one years
old last July.
In answer to an interrogatOry from
the reporter, he said he did not know
q thing about the robbery Of Green
Walkers residence in Sedalia, eigh-
teen months ago. He was not en-
gagged in it and did not know who did
commit the daring burglary. He
seemed to care but little for the long
sentence before him, and treated the
whole matter very loosely, laughing
and joking with the attendants and
the visitors, who called to see him
during his stay in Sedalia.
When Brockschmidt and Kelly
were landed in the pen, the prison
authorities srocognized Kelly as an
cid offender. He had been out of
the pen seven months-the expiration
of a five years sentence from Henry
county.

Austria Won't Hurry but Is Ready.
VIENNA. Dec. l6.-The article which
appeared In the st. Petersburg Military
Gazette yesterday, on military move
ments In Russia and her neighbors, has
excited great attention here in official
circles. The opinion is expressed that
the article will cause no change In the
attitude OF the Austrian government. 1t
is believed that before taking active re-
spOnsible measures OF defense, she will
wait to see whether Russia continues
her threatening military preparations.
A long interview during the week, be-
tween Count Kslnoky and the German
ambassador led to an accord between
the two governments on the decision OF
the Austrian military council. The Sc
rious character Of the situation has
never been under estimated In
Austrian official circles. The govern
ment has never been unmindful
OF the duties which the German alliance
imposes, and In the face OF the Rus
sian armed authorities has never for a
moment been idle, but the government
says IL has been anxious to avoid, as
long as possible, measures capable OF
being Interpreted by Russia as acts OF
provocation. Preparations are COM
plete for the dispatch OF REIN
fOrcements of cavalry to Galicia,
IN the event OF fresh movements Of
Russian troops. The erection OF huts 10
proceeding actively. Along the line OF
defense, timber which has been lying In
readiness since spring, 10 being utilized,
and accommodations for reinfOrcements
will soon be provided.

The Great Disaster In China

SAN FRAN, Dec. 16. Further particu-
lars OF the great Yellow river disaster
IN China show that it is one of the great
eat calamities Of the century. The yell
low river has long been known as
Chinese sorrow, and the present dis
aster has served TO reassert its right to
the terrible title. AS yet the details of
the disaster are very meRgre. II has
occurred In district where but few
foreigners are, and the reports furnish
ed by the officials and published in the
Pekin Gazette, convey very made
Quate account OF the extent Of the loss
of life and property and suffering of the
survivors. The Governor In HOnan re-
ports to the throne that nearly all
the people have been drowned in the
disaster oy the water, the survivors be-
ing those who escaped to h gb ground
or took refuge on trees where they re-
manned until rescued. This gives but
little impression as to what extent the
disaster really is The Chinese Times
saws: '1n the province of Chill,
where the disastrous foundations
have also occurred there are 30
600 people homeless, and represents
that thousands of lives were destroy ed g,
and adds that misery ia that province is
trifling as compared with that prevail
ing in HoangOhO or the Yellow river.
Inc extent of ground swept over by
the Hood given 10 English fl cures is over
1000 square miles, and the land
thus submerged, formed part OF one
of the richest and mot densely
populated plains OF northern China; the
nece .slty for liberal aid may therefore
be imagined. AlreadyGOnsiderable sums
have been contributed toward relieving
the sufferers The emperor OF China
has given two millions Of taels. and the
Chinese have started subscrip-
tiOn lists in Shanghai to
which foreigners have literally con-
trlbuted. Millions have been rendered
homeless and entirely deprived OF all
chances of earning their livelihood, for
their fields will either become perma-
nent lakes or uninhabitable swamps. 1t
is feared that distress which will he felt
during the winter will equal in inten-
sity the famine of ten years ago, when
| charitable donations contributed from
all parts Of the world were utterly
Inadequate. 1t is stated owing to action
taken by Yellow river 1t not only flows
toward the sea but seems content in
converting Eastern-Honu and Northern
Ngsnavhuy into lake. 1t may ultimate
| ~ flow into the sea through the Kiangon
or 1t may even possibly join the
GangteZe.

A PaCulinr Suit.

The suit Of Mr.. J. II. Goodman, an ex-
discharged soldier, against Max Sam
uels, proprietor of the Fashion theatre.
to recover the amount OF 500 80 was q
peculiar case. 1t seems that on Thanks
giving Day the plaintiff tried to take in
The CITY, but got taken in. He appeared
at the Fashion theatre, strongly under
the influence of liquor, and treated
everyone within his reach to cham,
payne. Max Ssmuels seeing the man
helplessly drunk, got him to deposit
$3.50 60 with him and sent him in a hack
to the Maverick hotel. He stayed there
for the night and when he sobered up In
the morning he found his money gone,
and accused some other soldiers of rob-
bling him They were arrested, their In
nocence proved, and they were released
Then MIR. Samuels notified the officers
that lie had $3.50 80 belonging to the
man and he paid his lawyer, Mr.. Duval,
the money, less $50 30, the amount OF
the bill incurred there. 1t was to re-
cover this amount that the suit was
brought, Goodman repudiating the bill
The jury, however, returned verdict
In favor of the defendant.
